The map above displays the distribution of S. Typhi with reduced-sensitivity to fluoroquinolone antibiotics from our global collection. Prevalence is colour-coded (intensity pink to red, grey for countries with fewer than three samples). Mouse over the map to see country-specific information.
Below is the global phylogenetic family tree of S. Typhi. Samples with genetic mutations conferring reduced-sensitivity to fluoroquinolones are highlighted in red.
